EGYPT TENSE IN CRISIS OVER CABINET DECREE Decision to Dissolve Parliament Causes Observers to Feel Any- thing Might Happen. By the Associated Press. CAIRO, Egypt, June 321.—The new cabinet of King Fuad, headed by Is- mail Eidky Pasha, today decided to suspend Parliament, without going be- fore it for a vote of confidence. The decision will be communicated o both Chamber and Senate at Mon- day's session. Request for a vote of confidence would have been futile be- * | cause of an overwhelming Wafdist ma- jority, which is near an open break with the crown. Parents and Teachers was organized in Atlanta. Ga., in 1926, by Mrs. A. H. Reeve, then president of the National | Congress of Parents and Teachers, and Mrs. Butler, president of the Georgia Colored Parent-Teacher Association.

Nehas sought to protect the Egyptian constitution by two bills which would make any minister su- spending Parliament lable to Jife im- prisonment and a heavy fine. A most tense political situation ex- isted today, in which observers be- lieved anything might happen. Con- siderable bitter talk was heard, with some threats against King Fuad him- self.

It is easy to handle because it has a smooth, flexible, alert performance, and because its steering mechanism is perfectly balanced. k is safe because it has positive, easy-acting internal hydraulic brakes, and because its silent Mono-Piete Steel Body affords unusual protection. In addition to these purely mechanical advantages, it is beautiful in design and appointments. Furthermore, it is economical to operate and maintain, and it has fifteen years of Dodge dependability behind it. SIXES AND EIGHTS UPHOLDING EVERY Sales Department 1509-11 1. C.
